I have mixed feelings on this. Tech workers are often the henchmen of borderline evil organisations. They’re looking for a place at the table, rather than to hold the companies accountable.
Of course, if it’s not as easy to lay them off maybe they can afford to risk holding them to account. I’m sceptical though.
Sounds like you live in a black and white world. Sorry, the world is not as easy as you'd like.
Trying to claim that all people who work in tech are in on sinister plots for Big Tech is cartoon-level oversimplification.
